Definitions

• the present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition with improved light reflectance and flame retardancy. More specifically, the present invention relates to a polycarbonate resin composition for displaying improved light resistance and flame retardancy while maintaining high light reflectance, impact resistance or heat resistance after UV irradiation.
• the polycarbonate resin composition comprises a polycarbonate resin, titanium dioxide, an impact modifier, a phenyl-substituted siloxane copolymer and a fluorinated polyolefin resin.
• polycarbonate resins are plastics exhibiting high mechanical strength, improved heat resistance and transparency. Such resins are used in a wide range of engineering applications, including office automation (OA) equipment, electronics and construction materials. In many cases, these compositions are blended to overcome some of the disadvantages of polycarbonate resins. Such disadvantages include poor processability and low notch impact strength.
• Resins used in electronic equipment such as backlight components for liquid crystal displays (LCDs)
• LCDs liquid crystal displays
• resins used in these electronic products are also required to have high fluidity.
• Polycarbonate resins used as backlight components, such as backlight frames for LCDs are colored white to maximize light reflectance and minimize loss of light emission. Because titanium dioxide (TiO2) has the highest refractive index as measured in air, it is the main form of white pigment used in these resins.
• halogen-based flame retardants such as antimony compounds and phosphorus-based compounds
• antimony compounds and phosphorus-based compounds have been used.
• Phosphate-based compounds are the most common phosphorous-based flame retardants used.
• resin compositions containing phosphate-based flame retardants are prone to the so-called "juicing phenomenon". This phenomenon refers to surface cracks that form when flame retardants migrate to the surface of an article during molding. These surface cracks result in greatly diminished heat resistance.
• Metal sulfonate salt-based flame retardants are commonly used to avoid halogen-based flame retardants while imparting high heat resistance and fire retardancy.
• metal sulfonate salts are combined with large amounts of titanium dioxide (used to color resins white) flame retardancy of the resin composition deteriorates.
• Another drawback lies in the fact that resins incorporating metal sulfonate salt-based flame retardants tend to degrade at high temperatures leading to poor mechanical properties.
• Japanese Patent Publication No. 1997-012853 discloses a flame-retardant resin composition comprising a polycarbonate resin, titanium dioxide, a polyorganosiloxane-polyalkylacrylate composite rubber, halogen-based and phosphate flame retardants, and a fluorinated polyolefin resin.
• U.S. Patent No. 5,837,757 discloses a flame-retardant resin composition comprising a polycarbonate resin, titanium dioxide, a stilbene-bisbenzoxazole derivative, a phosphate flame retardant, polyorganosiloxane, and a fluorinated polyolefin resin.
• the above-mentioned resin compositions have disadvantages in that the halogen-based and phosphate-based flame retardants accelerate the degradation of the compositions when in contact with power sources for a long period of time, causing serious yellowing of the compositions and a decrease in light reflectance properties.
• U.S. Patent No. 6,664,313 suggests a flame-retardant resin composition comprising a polycarbonate resin, titanium dioxide, silica, polyorganosiloxane, and a fluorinated polyolefin resin.
• silica as a flame retardant in this composition results in diminished impact resistance and leads to the formation of silver streaks on the external surface of injection-molded articles.
